Bio
I'm Kevin Mejia, and as I enter my final year at Iona University, I could not be more grateful for the position I currently stand in. I was born in Colombia, a beautiful country that offers great sights, food, music, and people. A place where I will one day return to enlighten young minds to reach for the stars by giving them a foundation. At the age of 21, I realized the importance of self-awareness, self-confidence, and most importantly self-love. During my preliminary years in college, I had a fear of the world itself. A fear that the world was not in my favor, a fear that I was alone. I held money and job titles to such a high degree that I failed to see the bigger picture. Entrepreneurship changed my life forever. Entrepreneurship helped me see my capabilities, talents, and most importantly, the opportunities around me to reach for the stars. Applying myself to a greater mission, surrounding myself with great minds, and being confident in myself, has instilled a fire to one day return home and communicate the power of innovation and an empathetic attitude.
